Who is a nephrologist?
A nephrologist is a kidney specialist, a physician expert in diagnosing, treating, and managing kidney diseases. Their expertise extends to understanding the systemic impact of kidney conditions. Nephrologists prescribe medical and surgical treatments, but do not perform surgeries themselves.
Can a nephrologist treat a urinary tract infection?
A nephrologist may treat chronic urinary tract infections, especially if kidney involvement is suspected. Urologists also treat urinary tract infections.
Does a nephrologist perform kidney transplants?
Nephrologists do not perform kidney transplants. Their role involves pre-transplant assessment of patient health, managing conditions like diabetes and hypertension to optimize transplant candidacy. Post-transplant, nephrologists provide long-term care and manage potential complications, including transplant rejection.
What symptoms necessitate a nephrologist consultation?
Consult a nephrologist if you experience: proteinuria or hematuria; diabetes; autoimmune diseases like lupus; arrhythmias; hypertension or hypotension; anemia; dysuria, painful urination, or hematuria; severe flank pain; recurrent nephrolithiasis; or chronic urinary tract infections. These symptoms may indicate kidney disease requiring specialized nephrological care.
Can a nephrologist treat kidney stones?
Nephrologists manage and prevent recurring kidney stones. They conduct blood and urine tests to identify contributing factors. However, kidney stone removal, a surgical procedure, is performed by a urologist, not a nephrologist.
